Security Leadership Redefined
Be a Beacon
Catalyst for Change
An immersive residential program for cybersecurity leaders, where they engage, collaborate and unleash their potential in tackling critical challenges while exploring the diverse roles of CISOs and enhancing their leadership skills.
Kickstart the CISO Engage Offsite with arrival and check-in - Unleashing cybersecurity strategies!
Cyberspace is a new terrain for conflict that has not been well-mapped, unlike the military war zone. Just as ancient cartographers were hampered by their belief that the earth was flat, cybersecurity is hindered by inaccurate beliefs about adversaries and risks. Many of the core concepts that shape our understanding of cybersecurity deserve rethinking.
Security professionals today are establishing the fact that they are not merely gatekeepers of data and systems, but also key enablers of business growth and a beacon of change, demonstrating inclusive leadership skills that drive innovation and strategic thinking.
In this session, Gen. Deependra Hooda will provide unique insights on:
• How organizations could become victims of catastrophic attacks by terrorists or hostile states
• How CISOs can showcase leadership in countering information warfare, drawing parallels from military attacks and the influence of leaders on the team
• How to stay composed during an attack and craft a tactical and strategic defense plan
• Lessons from military leadership in establishing organizational resilience at wire speed by taking control of the situation.

As cybersecurity leaders, we tend to focus on the negatives. However, to sustain an effective cybersecurity strategy, organizational maturity is paramount. It involves investing in security and budgeting accordingly. Implementing security by design and working with an 'assumed breach' concept are crucial when embracing digital technologies. In this changing world, CISOs have a vital role in developing comprehensive cybersecurity strategies, managing risks and fostering security awareness. They must adapt to evolving needs, leverage advanced technologies and collaborate with government bodies and regulators.
This session will cover:
Organizational maturity
Investments and budgets
Secure by design: New technologies in play
The regulatory environment and government support
CISO’s roles and responsibilities in the changing world

Breadth of visibility and depth of insight are foundational to XDR. Many sophisticated threats don’t just attack the endpoint, or the network alone – they attack across a variety of vectors, including email, endpoint, network, identity management, sandboxing and firewall. That’s why you need an XDR solution with a broad range of telemetry and quality of data that can inform your XDR outcomes and provide a holistic and complete view of what is happening across your environment. But it’s not just about gathering insights — incident management is equally important which relates to business risk and prioritization

In the ever-evolving threat landscape, CISOs' big focus will be to spearhead initiatives that help them take up leadership roles in navigating from the battlefield to the boardroom. There is a compelling need for them to improve their cyber defense capabilities to combat threats.
CISOs need to bolster their cyber defense strategies, techniques and tactics to develop countermeasures to fight against attacks by applying military techniques, tactics and strategies to bolster resilience.
The Generals will conduct a wartime gaming exercise along with the CISOs to help them adorn the leadership role and build the necessary endurance in responding to attacks.

Cybersecurity professionals face skilled adversaries while protecting their organizations from data overload. The rise in AI applications calls for new technologies to empower defenders. As advanced AI adoption increases across various fields, companies need to integrate cutting-edge security tech and AI to prepare their cybersecurity defenses.
The session will cover:
Security required to enable defenders to move at the speed and scale of AI
How to enable organizations to truly defend at machine speed
How should organizations prioritize threats in real time and anticipate threat actors’ moves with continuous reasoning?
Alok Lall
National security Officer,
Microsoft
It would not be an exaggeration to say that organizations today are being continuously challenged with newer forms of attacks as adversaries find innovative ways to infiltrate your systems. It is imperative for security practitioners to define and continually expand a common cybersecurity language that ascertains how adversaries operate. Safeguarding infrastructure and assets from data theft by unscrupulous adversaries continues to be a priority, with phishing, business email compromise, ransomware, and others posing constant threats.
CISOs at the offsite unite to create a MITRE ATT&CK framework to solve problems and develop more effective cybersecurity using adversaries' tactics and techniques to build specific threat models and methodologies to defend against the attack.

It was a pleasure to be on the panel for the discussion on third-party risk management. Given the limited time for the discussion, I think the moderator and the panelists managed to cover the most important and relevant points on the subject effectively. I attended the sessions on both days and I must say that it was time well invested listening to other speakers and interacting with peers from the industry. I certainly look forward to be part of similar engagements with ISMG in the future.
